Long Tail Hamsters

I honestly think these are just midget rats! However they are cute as hell!

While we were out at PetSmart today my D14 and i were looking at the birds and little critters. Hey we actually went to get animal food for the puppy and kitty. Well... we both looked at these midget rats and love them.

So i'm fairly certain we will be getting two in the very near future. Thing is... i was never allowed hamsters or any sort of rodent when i was small. I have NOT A FREAKING CLUE how to care for these things. For that matter i have no idea where i'm gonna put them. I have one very curious puppy and an even more curious CAT!

D14 has named the one she wants already. Big Steve. He's a fat little thing. The other will be sorta marked like those spotted cows! I said call it moo moo.. she laughed and said no. I'm waiting for a response on a pet cage for them. If pet smart is open we'll go tonight. If not we'll go tomorrow.

Its been a busy but not day. No gym today. Sir says its my day off. I will go tomorrow though. Took my mum for supper. Just the ordinary stuff for a weekend really. Only exception is that i went to the library. I may take a walk with D14 later on for the store (i'm looking for Vogue Knitting Magazine) if we dont drive there on the way back from PetSmart.

Am i nuts to be allowing these little creatures into the house? Naaaahh i don't think so.
